Be My Anti Valentine...

Be My Valentine?  Let’s don’t and say we did.  Valentine’s Day is cool and all.  L.O.V.E.  You know I can dig that.  But do you sometimes find yourself in an “Anti Valentine” groove… a “Love Gone Wrong” groove; say Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra in the bad years?   If so, bitter lover, we’ve designed some fun T-Shirts and gifts just for you!

Keep in mind you can also rock our Anti V-Day t-shirts in an ironical way.  For instance if you’re going out with your perfect someone on Valentine’s Day, do so in our Anti Valentine gear.  You wear our sweet  “Cupid Is Stuck On Stupid”  Spaghetti Tank under your jacket or cardigan (belted, of course), while he wears the “Love Is For Losers” Long Sleeve T.  Guaranteed to be a conversation starter among your fellow bar mates.  Do it.  You know you want to!

Hello, 2010...let's do this!

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas lights...

It's a cold night in Cincinnati.  A relatively balmy 33 degrees fahrenheit.  'Tis the season for intentions of peace on earth and goodwill toward men.  We're inspired to write an oddFrogg haiku, lyrically styled and just for you!

  Cold December night

    --  Twinkle, twinkle Christmas lights

          --  Egg nog sounds just right!

In an empire state of mind...

You can count me among those who love New York City.   The city manages to seductively invoke the feeling of endless possibilities.  My first trip to NYC was so boldly surreal I will never forget it.   From that first moment of stepping into the lobby of the cool little Roger Smith Hotel in Manhattan, the city  invited me in and provided the full out royal treatment while taking in MOMA, the Met Museum, a game at Yankee Stadium, wonderful noshes at every turn, shopping in Tribeca and SoHo, dancing at SOB's, then poetry in the Village followed by late night Jazz at Bradley's.  Everywhere it was 1/2 price at the door, gracious cab drivers (really!), and the table right down front.  It was inexplicable.  The universe was smiling so I rolled with it.  I recall thinking, "I'll bet this is what it's like to be a diva".

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' recent outstanding (magnificent actually)  performance at the AMA's brought back memories of that trip and put me in an 'Empire State of Mind'.   Join me, won't you?

Cryin' for me...

Toby Keith's touching send off to his friend, Jazz musician Wayman Tisdale.   Truly beautiful.   Enjoy.

Following footsteps...

After a long week, it's the Thursday night before a fabulous and well-deserved Friday off.  Get your weekend started by enjoying an oddFrogg haiku.  Lyrically inspired and just for you!

Pirates need love, too!

So I'm having lots of fun designing T-shirts for International Talk Like A Pirate Day.  You know about this one, right?  Two guys out having fun playing some racquetball created their own, nonsensical holiday where you spend the day talking like a pirate.  Last year my coworkers and I spent the day trading incredibly corny pirate jokes like this one:  "What be a pirate's favorite socks?   Arrrrrgyle!"  See what I mean?

Talk Like A Pirate Day is catching on.  If you're out  bar hopping on September 19th, we've got some great pirate inspired T-Shirts.   And, since pirates need love too, our Pirate Personal Ad T-shirts are great for the guys:
